This show is disgusting and evil

I just finished season 1 episode 2. At the end, the magician and the maid go into the woods to find the stable boy—who had just watched his mother and father be murdered—so they could give him an effigy "for good luck" that somehow aborts the child of the king that the maid was carrying while also killing the stable boy. WHAT?!? They murdered a child because some lady didn't want to be set up for life having to care for her own child. Am I missing something?! Why is no one talking about what a horrible horrible thing that was that was carried out on the screen so casually? Like, there's no articles whatsoever about how evil and awful that is. Did everyone watching just really shrug their shoulders at that? There's so much evil in this world done to so many children it makes me want to cry. I don't understand why something like this would be included which doesn't do anything to further the plot, so casually. Is this what entertains people these days? It makes me sick.
